the Third Louisiana District in Congress,
and has been President of the Sugar Ex-
change Of New Orleans from its fouDda-
tion in 1888.
The Democratic Administration is
making an economic sweep among the
custom houses. Among the Virginia ports
of entry it has made reductions of the ex-
pense of collection everywhere, and these
are some of the samples-at Alexandria,
from s. 5l3 Gown to 1888; at Cherrystone,
from $3.461 to $SSS; at Petersburg, from
S3,14S down to sixty-three dollars AND at
Rappahannock, from $1,1ll down to $707.
What sort of places the Republican admi-
nistration had been furnishing their poll
teal henchmen at the expense of the gov
eminent for twenty years may be inferred
from the statement that at Petersburg
where the customs collection amounted to
only three dollars the cost of collecting it
was 49, 4S.
The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria "Gazette" says that Messrs.
Vest and Libbey expressed surprise at the
reported unanimous nomination of Gen.
Malone by the Republicans of the Legis-
lature, to succeed Senator Rlddleberger:
the former saying that come Of the mem
bers had expressed directly contrary de-
termination. and MIR. Libbey saying some
of the Republican members could not have
been in the caucus. 1t is said that DR.
Webb of Rockingham was selected to make
the nominating speech and that Messrs
Sanger Of that county, McClintic of Bath
and Mills and Craft of the Southwest
made speeches seconding the nomination
MIR. Yost said the action of the caucus
would not be sustained by tho party
throughout the State.

We recently noticed the fact that in the
debate in the House of Delegates about
the party responsibility for the non-pas-
sage of the Blair bill, Mr.. Echols of Au-
gusta led it on the Democratic side and
Messrs. Elan and Waddill on the Repub-
lican side. The Richmond correspondent
of the Alexandria "Ha2ette" in describing
the debate says
Mr. Echols, the young Democratic delegate
from Augusta who has had much experience
as a legislator, poured hot shot into the Re-
publican ranks during the debate upon the
resolution. The way in which he referred
to Malone skulking into the cloak room to
keep from voting upon the Blair bill was not
a. all pleasant to the ears of the Republican
delegates. Mr.. Echols was speaking 'by the
record and he took great pleasure in giving
as his authority U. s. Senator Riddleberger.
Mr.. Echols' speech was highly complimented,
as it was very timely. He was replying to
Delegate Waddill of Henrico, and this is the
way he closed 'The Democratic party of
Virginia is in favor of the Blair bill,s It has
been consistent throughout in its advocacy
of this important bill, and the gentleman from
Henrico cannot rise upon this floor and try to
make the contrary appear without being met
by fat denial by me and my associates"

SECTTONALISM INSTEAD OF
PROTECTION.

When Presidant Cleveland's message
came out advocating the reduction of the
surplus by the reduction of the tariff, the
Republican press made it resound through
the country that here at last was the issue;
here 1t was in plain type and the Republi-
can party intended TO make it the issue at
once. Last week there assembled in Phil
adelphia a National Convention of all the
prominent Republican clubs of the coun-
try. which included the most eminent men
in their PARTY. Que would think that
there was the first and great opportunity
for making the issue On Cleveland's mes
sage. It did not so prove. The chief
tissue" made there was the old, Old story.
suppression of the vote at the South and
everything else Of sectional character.
EyarJs, John S. Wise, Lyle (colored) of
Mississippi, al tbs speakers, all the letter
writers, dael5 on the suppression of the
vote. So intense was the patriotic hatred of
the South tbat D good part of the speaking
was directed against Secretary Lamar for
once having denounced President Line, In;
for having ordered respect to be paid to
the memory of Jacob Thompson, ex Secre-
tary Of the Interior and such like, and
against Cleveland for the proposed re-
turn Of the battle flags.
Tie issue Of protection to be made on
President CleVeland's message was hardly
heard from. Il is lamentably true, that the
Republican party is dying OF sectionalism;
that no matter what policies of the coun-
try are up for settlement, it turns its at
tentiGn to hatred Of The South and War
memories, and that IS party to examine.
adjust, and determine the political econo-
omY Of the country, it is dead. It will be
long before The Southern States will forget
the utterances Of the Philadelphia Con-
vention Of Republican Clubs. and many
time during the coming Presidential cam
paign the Republicans Of Virginia will
wish The Philadelphia convention had
never been heard Of.

LEGLSLATIVE NOTES.

The Virginia legislature, on Wednesday
last, adjourned till January 4th.
There has been little Of general interest
in the proceedings Of the legislature the
past week.
Mr.. Echols offered resolution inquir-
ing into the eligibility of Delegate Nc
Clintic of Bath to seat in the House, 1t
being alleged that his legal residence is
not In his district but in Botetourt. The
resolution was referred. There are three
other cases before the House Committee
on Privileges and Elections-a Republican
claims the seat of the Democrat from Prin-
cess Anne; Republican claims the seat
of the Democrat from Lunenburg, and a
Democrat claims the seat of the Republi-
can from Goochland, on the ground that
the Republican is not naturallzed citizen.
A response by the Superintendent of the
Penitentisry shows that there are II boys
and 20 girls in that prison, under the age
Of eighteen years.
A bill has passed the House for special
game law for Augusta and four ntht r
counties.
A bill making it punishable by fine of
from 500 to $500, and imprisonment in
Jail for months, for any school trustee,
school officer, county officer, or any State
officer, to shave teachers certificates, or
certificates given for any work connected
with the public school system, has been
engrossed in the House.
The following judges were elected: For
Observation-Disclosures, Samuel B. Witt;
Chancery, +. H. Fitzhugh; for Danville-
Judge A. M. Aiken; for Frederick sburg-
A. M, Wallace; for Nerfolk--D. Tucker

VJRGJNTA'S POSITION ON THE
INTERNAL REVENUE
AND TARIFF.

The legislature Of Virginia. last week,
settled all doubts about where the Demo-
cratic party OF the State stands on these
two questions. by the adoption OF the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resozued (the House of Delegates concur
ripg) That our Senators in Congress be in
structed and our Representatives be re-
quested- II,
/. To use their best efforts to secure the
immediate repeal of the internal revenue sys'
tenn. a relic of the war and no longer necessary
to meet the demands of the Government, and
because it is oppressive, fosters monopohe:,
and is obnoxious to the interests OF our
people.
2. To favor raising the revenue requisite
for the support of the Federal Government by
tariff upon imports limited to the necessities
of the Government, economically administer
ed and SO adjusted in its application as te
prevent unequal burdens, encourage product
| i've interests at home, the development OF oul
material resources and afford just compensa
ton to labor, but not to foster monopolles.
The resolutions were adopted by boil
Houses, and the Republican votes as
body were cast against them

THE ACTUAL LIGHT OF ARC
LAMPS.

A very interesting discussion is going
on as to the true candle power of arc
lamps, The electric light companies gen.
orally guarantee 2OO0-candle power to
each street light, but the latest photOme=
trical experiments demonstrate, almost
with exactness, that it is nothing like it,
and that from 700 to 800 candle power is
about what the average street arc light
gives. The ACCESSIBILITY of changing the
nominal method, and the specifying of the
actual candle power by those who sell
.ev.ric light, is being urged.
